Moore on seeing more

Design ideation is about new ways of seeing, and experiencing the world around us through the use of ideation tools . But in increasingly digital and virtual environments, should we, like Mary Moore, daughter of Henry Moore, the sculptor, be worried that we're losing our skills to see things properly? 'We don’t look at things, it’s terrifying, it’s happening more and more and more. People see two-dimensionally on their phones and laptops and iPads; they don’t see shapes or understand form'. Moore is hoping her father's sculptural work would encourage people 'to explore what is in front of them with an open mind and in a fresh way, so that they might re-evaluate or see things that they have never seen, understand things they have never understood.'
